@@Ares-ij7id thank you for that iman; being that the plant is very native to North Africa it would make a lot of sense for Egypt to also be a popular supplier. It’s so amazing how it’s used for so much all around!!
The most difficult part is not washing or rubbing your face much, or moisturize it after you get them. I wear makeup and i feel like they dont last as long as theyre supossed to becasue i wash and rub my face every day. The "purest" your skin remains, the longer they will last . Yours came out beautiful ♥
I have natural freckles on my face and under my arms - but the ones on my face are very few and I want a lot more of them because I love them so much- so I’m going to try this to give me more! Thanks for this! ❤
A great tips is: After the henna paste has been applied, it must be allowed to dry. A mixture of lemon juice and sugar is then sprinkled on so that the design adheres better to the skin. 👌✨
Happy to stumble upon this video! Was thinking about doing some tattooed freckles on myself and because of you, I’m gonna do henna freckles for a year or so to see if I really love the look enough to commit. Appreciate you sharing!
also a great place to buy henna is your local indian grocery store! obviously there’s no wait time/cost for shipping and they’re very affordable, like $1-2
Heyy!! I have been applying henna for several years now and love it! I leave it on my face for 2 hours but it only stays for a few days. Thanks to you I know now that I have to let it sit longer ❤️❤️
Yes! Definitely let is sit for a few more hours and try not to exfoliate after (I've exfoliated a couple days after and it got rid of most of them haha)
Amazing! I do have a few questions, 1. Can you apply henna for a shorter amount of time and 2. Can you do a video about your face routine your skin is literally beautiful.
Hi!! 1. Yes, you can leave it on for a shorter amount of time but I would suggest no less than 2-3 hours. This is because it needs time to sink in and develop (the longer you leave it on, the darker it will be and the longer it will last) 2. Thank you so much, and yes!! I'll be posting a skincare routine so soon!! Just filmed it this weekend ;)
Incredible job! You are beautiful too. I am interested in trying this but I'm very fair/pale so I don't know how long I should leave them on.... You are just ADORABLE with or without freckles, and all your features are just perfect. Well, if I get up the nerve....
you're so sweet thank you for saying that! i think it's worth a try :) if you'd feel more comfortable, you can try exprimenting with a freckle pen first!
Thank you for this tutorial I have a Henna faux freckles pen but I wanted to make sure I knew what I was doing before trying it out for myself so this was very instructive and helpful thank you so much excited to try it for myself! 😊
Bought mine whilst watching this video! I did buy from the store in your description, but I live in Ireland so the cost was more than I had hoped! Next time I'll try to find a European store that sell! But thank you for this video I can't wait to try this out:)
@@michaellaei I found this video very helpful! A lot of the videos on youtube doing similar don't look as natural and I think you've nailed the method. Thank you:)
You can get a darker longer lasting look by spraying your henna with a lemon juice/organic sugar cane mix, letting it dry & settle, THEN take it off! ❤️ Just don’t get it in your eyes lmao
I'm trying it on my hand first because I remember the henna I buy being alot darker but if I end up liking it I will probably end up doing this it was alot easier to do on my hand than expected
thank you so much! i’m honestly not sure, i’ve never tried :( i’m sure if you tried a light coverage foundation/concealer they’d still show up a little
You are beautiful and this was a very helpful video! I am about to try this out! I was wondering if keeping the henna in the fridge is good enough or if it needs to be stored in the freezer?
I have a question. Do you not wash your face or do any skin care before or during the time you have the freckles? I have been trying to make these henna freckles work but basically as soon as I wash my face they are gone... So I am just wondering if you have altered your skincare routine in order to keep them longer or... I might be doing it completely wrong? Or I got a bad product ( I live in Japan so I ordered what I could find through the amazon here). Any clarification would be so helpful
with my current skincare routine, I don't wash my face with face wash every day (usually every other day)! i find my skin gets very dry if I wash it too often, so this ends up working in my favor in terms of the freckles lasting longer. They typically only last about 3-4 days though, so def don't expect them to last too long. It's also totally dependent on how long you leave the henna on, and your skin type!!
You are so cute and the freckles look so natural. But i missed something why did you do two layers instead of just letting the first layer sit for longer?
Thanks so much! :) I like to do two layers so that there's more depth in the freckles, making them look more naturally. Sometimes, if I just do one layer, it looks like i just drew them on (i know technically they're fake and drawn on, but I want them to look more real haha).
I also ordered the kit from mihenna now and I'm really excited😊 I got my first henna (body) done this year in India and I loved it. Did you try to spred the henna freckles with your finger like does this work? Or is the colour then too soft?
i didn’t spread the henna at all! i wanted to avoid smudging. i do think it’s good to lay it on thick no matter what design you’re doing with henna so that the pigment deposits as much as possible :)
ok first of all you give such a good vibe idk how to explain but u do 🥺 second do u still recommend to let 2-3h on the face if it's another brand of henna? i bought one and since im brazilian, it's not the same brand. it says to leave it for no longer than 30 minutes but idk
thank you so much that’s so sweet 🥺💛 i recommend following the instructions from the brand! and if you feel like you’re not happy w the results then try again for longer :)
I have a quick question I used to do henna and stopped now going to start getting into it, but I feel like it didn't last as long or whatever, most likely because of how I wash my face? I was just wondering whats your skincare routine? like how often do you wash it? exfoliate? etc.. thanks :))))
Hey! The reasons for not lasting long can totally vary dependent on how naturally oily your skin is and also how often you wash your face. I wash my face approx every other day but only exfoliate as needed (sometimes this is once a week, sometimes this is twice a month). I usually exfoliate my face the day before I apply henna so that I can start on a fresh/clean face :)
first of all youre soo beautiful!!! second, when u take the henna out do u wash it with water or soap or something? or just with ur fingers?? btw i really liked ur video thank you so much for makin it !! :))
you are so sweet thank you! so happy you liked it xx I just gently rub it off with my fingers without water and try not to get my face wet for approx 24 hours after taking it off :)
Hi! I love your videos you are so chill! I was wondering if the type of henna you use is brown colored or is it just natural color? I cant decide which one to buy
I really love the results, it’s beautiful! Although I have to say when you were applying it, it give me the creeps, it kind of looked like , you had ants all over your face 🙈 sorry for me it really did, maybe it’s just the lighting. Anyway, beautiful, thanks for sharing. ❤
the more you wash the more they’ll fade! that being said, i still do my regular skincare routine and it lasts for a few days :) they were completely gone after i exfoliated on day 4 or 5!
Great question! I don't think it does, the color is only temporary and will wash off over time. But it couldn't hurt do a little more research if you're worried about that in particular!
I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong.. but I use golecha henna and I wait 2 hours. After I remove them, they look soooo Orange and even after 24 hours they still look pretty orange :/
Heyyy so I’ve done it and now I don’t want them anymore. Can you pls tell me how to remove them or how long they last with minimal effort. Thanks you and you are absolutely stunning girl😭😭 love ya.
Hey! Totally get that, I would try exfoliating (gently) and moisturizing really well (using like a moisturizer and an oil after). I'd do that like two days in a row just before bed and see how it goes! I'm sure some people on the internet have additional tips/tricks to remove it but luckily it only lasts for a few days anyway :) also thank you so much, love ya too xx
@@michaellaei omg thank you so much. I usually exfoliate and moisturize on a daily based. They have definitely started to fade. Thank you soo much for advice tho🥺I appreciate it.
Hello everyone! I’m watching this video two years later and I’d like to know if the sweat can reduce their lasting or not..can someone help me? Thank you❤️❤️
I have to question whether it actually matters who owns the henna company-specifically, what their racial heritage is. Isn’t it the very definition of racism to place rules on what sort of business a person can or cannot run based on their race? I certainly understand wanting to support people who run a business that reflects their nation and ancestry, but I also think it’s a very beautiful thing that people of all backgrounds love henna and come together because of the beauty of henna. Sometimes trying very hard not to be racist can actually widen the rift between races.
i never said they couldn’t run their business making henna products, i just said i was going to buy my henna from somewhere else because i want to be more intentional about my purchases :) i’m not trying hard to “not be racist,” i’m just supporting a WOC owned business
Can I put on moisturizer after I've taking off the freckles at night or will it interfer with the oxydation (so they'll turn brown)? Then I'll wait till next morning.
adding oil to your face will make the freckles fade faster, but they’re super easy to reapply! i use oil in my regular skin routine and they usually last about three days (and take about 24 hours to fully oxidize)
